Thanks Ihor.

I see two basic ways: first, as you suggest #+ICALENDAR_VEVENT: X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:FREE Or alternatively, #+begin_export icalendar X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:FREE #+end_export We could follow the example of the latex exporter which supports both usages. However I am not sure we can simply export verbatim -- we may need to add additional checks. In particular various Org properties or special keywords may also be exported as iCal properties (e.g. SCHEDULED as DTSTART, or TODO as STATUS:NEEDS-ACTION), and we may want to handle duplicate behavior -- for example, by default TODO could be exported as STATUS:NEEDS-ACTION unless explicitly overridden by #ICALENDAR_STATUS (this is also related to the discussion in [1]). We could possibly use icalendar.el to parse the icalendar export blocks/keywords to check for duplicate properties. icalendar.el provides many useful parsing functions, though some are private methods (e.g. icalendar--get-event-property) and may need to be copied (or we could consider asking emacs-devel to make those methods public).
